Powell Convenience Center And Recycling Center is the small county recycling spot out on Morton View Lane that locals use to drop off household recyclables and larger items that don't belong in curbside bins. Neighbors swing by with cardboard, bottles, cans and the sort of stuff collected during a yard clean-up.

Pull into the paved driveway and look for a little attendant booth near the entrance and a row of large roll-off containers beyond it. The recycling bins for paper, cardboard and commingled containers sit to the right a short drive past the booth, while bulk drop-off areas and larger containers are further in. There's a scale at many county centers like this, so vehicles may be weighed on the way in or out and lines can form on weekend mornings or during spring cleanups. Staff usually point drivers where to unload, and trailers or pickup loads are common sights here.

Before You Go

  • Bring items sorted as much as possible-cardboard flattened, bottles and cans loose-so unloading goes faster and others aren’t held up.
  • Weekends and the first warm Saturday of the month tend to be busiest; plan a weekday trip if trying to avoid lines.
  • Have a tarp or straps ready for loose loads in the back of a truck so material doesn't blow out while driving away.
